Joshua Farris and Han Yan got the exact same PCS (71.20)! Yan matches his previous SB ranking (13th) but Farris moves into 15th (behind Rippon, ahead of Miner). Should Abbott and Rippon not earn those three spots at senior worlds, next year's US Nationals is gonna be a bloodbath

I see a complete package from Yan, solid quality on all aspects - technical, performance, and that cool champion vibe. Farris is balanced technically and artistically too but needs more personality. Brown is too much upper body and arm movements for me and needs technical improvement to compete with top Men in his age group including Yan, Farris, and Hanyu.

I think you got that mixed up. Miner's SB is 223 from 4CC, but Farris is now ahead of Rippon on the SB list. And wow Jason just scored 144 with no 3a and into 3rd! D10 off the podium. Huge scores for the top 3. Can't wait to see Yan, Farris, and Brown on the GP next season! Way to lay it down, guys.

Nah, I was just looking at the long program scores on the SB list. But yes, these scores are huge. Enough to give gmyers panic, anyway.

Yan can have a quick leap in PCS by going to a top tier choreographer. China is lacking in that part of their training program but once a Chinese skater proves himself or herself worthy internationally, s/he gets sent overseas to the likes of Lori Nichols.
